𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘•𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄-The girl that blamed herself

𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐒 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐇 was killed in front of the group, they lost Tyreese. . .He had been bitten and there was nothing they could do to save him. But now The group had been on the road for a while. Their only car ran out of gas days ago so they were left walking.

Devin let her metal bar drag across the pavement of the road. Her face was blank, but her eyes told just how much pain and sadness she was in. Beth's death weighed heavily on her. She was angry at herself for ever leaving Beth in the first place. She couldn't help but think that if she had been with her maybe she'd still be alive.

Leo walked beside Devin. It was clear that he was taking Tyreese's death a whole lot better than Sasha. He hasn't even hardly acknowledged it. But it did affect him a lot. He started to worry a whole lot more about the people he has grown to care about. He was terrified that something would happen to them too. But at the moment he was the most worried about Devin. The Philips girl hadn't been sleeping or eating. Well, it's not like the group always had food but when they did Devin didn't eat.

"Dev, let me change your bandage. You haven't changed it in at least four days." Leo said as he took a step closer to the redhead.

Devin didn't say a word and just kept walking. Leo sighed, watching as Devin slowed her pace a little so she was walking at the back of the group with Kate, Mika and Duane.

He looked towards Kai only to see the blond boy busy trying to keep little Judith occupied. Feeling eyes on him, Kai glanced over and looked at Leo confused.

The young Williams man headed over so he was walking beside Kai. "Hey, man. . . Has Devin said anything to you? Is she okay?" He asked. Deep down he knew it was a stupid question because obviously Devin was very much not okay. But regardless he still asked.

Kai shrugged, shaking his head. "No. . . She blames herself for what happened. I'm not sure why." He admitted.

Leo frowned and his shoulders slouched a bit. "I'm no doctor, Kai, but I think Devin's slipping into some sort of depression or something. I don't know."

The blond Grimes' jaw tightened and he looked over his shoulder to check on Devin. The girl had her head held low, mindlessly listening to Duane, Carl, Willow, Mika and Kate talk. He sighed and looked at Leo. "I'll try to talk to her."

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃 on the side of the road and sat down for a break. Devin walked over and sat against a tree that was a few feet away from the others. She pulled her knees up to her chest and sat her chin on top of them with her eyes closed.

She heard twigs snap but didn't open her eyes. Kai sighed seeing that the girl didn't even care if he was a walker or not. "I'm changing your bandage." He told her.

Devin opened her eyes and looked at him out of the corner of her eye. She didn't bother to argue when Kai sat down beside her. She kept her eyes on the ground and allowed him to put fresh bandages on her arm.

"You okay, Dev?" He asked, his brows furrowed together as he glanced up at her concerned.

Devin looked at him for a second before shrugging. It gave Kai a little bit of hope that she was about to say something. . . anything. But when she stayed silent he sighed. "You're starting to scare me, Devin. Everyone is worried. Our dads, Sam and Willow, Carl, Duane, Leo. Even Glenn's worried." Kai frowned seeing that he was getting absolutely no where with his best friend.
